Juicy Summer Mornings

As a breakfast creature I am not the most original one. I
always try to take the best for myself from what ever the season offers. This
usually means that in Spring and Summer my body receives all the goodness it
needs such as vitamins, and macro and micro elements, that hopefully will help
me survive the colder months without catching cold. This June I am really lucky
as I am getting ready for the Big Day with my grandparents.

Whilst I was helping my Grandpa, who is a big fan of prevention
, taking care of ourselves, and being mindful that health our starts from the
inside, I found a manual juice press. Do
you know what that means? It means that all the berries and fruits are mine and
everyday I have had the chance to start and end my day with freshly squeezed
juice.

Morning juice is currently a daily event for me and my
grandpa. So far we have tested several different combinations:

Rhubab & Orange

Strawberries &
Blueberries

Lemon & Rhubab

Strawberries, Rhubab
& Ginger - my number one

Bluberries &
Lemon

Apple

Apple & Orange

Cinnamon &
Raspberries – my grandpa’s number one

Tomatoe & Apple –
no one’s number one as it was just too unique for our taste buds

I do not know if it is the weather, sun, and slower life or
my morning breakfast change but it is defintely doing wonders. Just like all
those adverts you see, I’m going to say ‘Goodbye morning heaviness and hello
morning sexiness’. I know cringe, but that’s exactly how I feel after only two
weeks of starting my day with fresh juice.

I can only see one disadvantage of this otherwise Eden like
situation. A manual juice press takes a considerable amount of time and effort.
I have to add that making my favourite carrot juice with a manual juice press
is… A pain. My first attempt finished quicker than it started.

If not for the fact that I am on my holidays, I must admit
that my inner lazy berry would take over and probably fresh juices would finish
as soon as the holidays are over. If I invest in a juicer I will probably look
for a quiet one that I can use without being a niusance in a studio flat.
Possibly one of Panasonic’s juicers, I must check if they can cope with
carrots too! I am still in a mood for a carrot juice with a ginger.

If you are using a juicer, please let me know which one you
recommend and if there are any I should avoid.

I've always liked the idea of morning juices, but always a bit lazy. Then we got a blend active and it's very handy, most mornings I had a smoothie of some sort - with it being all in one, it was easy to use and quick to clean too. Minimal fuss. Good effort on all the different juices, I clearly need to get more experimental with mine! Apart from Tomato and Apple, I'll avoid that lol
